How to read utf-8 mails?

How to read utf-8 mails?

[Jinhyok Heo]

Can I read utf-8 mails with Gnus?
For now I use cvs gnus, and utf-8 mails are all Greek to me.

You must have a unicode enabled Emacs. For that you could try Emacs 21
(perhaps together with mule-ucs), or the ucs-conv package for XEmacs.

Perhaps you'd like to try the xemacs21.5 beta branch called ben-mule, it
has native unicode support.

Gnus can do UTF-8 if Emacs can.  I think for XEmacs you can use
recent versions of Mule-UCS, or maybe a package called ucsconv.  But
I don't use XEmacs, so I'm not sure.

This is correct: I use the Mule-UCS package with a recent XEmacs and it
works just fine for reading UTF-8 mail.

I've just installed Mule-UCS-0.84 with XEmacs-21.4.5. And it's working
well. :-)

The one point to note is that you must have Mule-UCS loaded *before* you
start or load Gnus. I am not sure exactly when it looks for the coding
system but if you load Mule-UCS later then Gnus is unaware of it's
presence...

Do I have to install XEmacs-Mule or a plain XEmacs with mule-base is
OK ? I have just installed mule-base package and there is no change.

Enter "mule-ucs" in Google.  Google is your friend.

You need an XEmacs compiled with MULE, the mule-base package *and* the
additional MULE-UCS package, which is not part of the XEmacs package
system, but is available on the 'net.

Kai suggests google; that was how I found it. :)
